Why did you use silicone? 3m double side tape would have been enough. Pictures of the trunk and amt of silicone might help.

Have you tried heating the area and then trying to remove it?

lol noo double sided doesn't do the job kept on comin off and someone on cl told me to use silicone it worked fine until I wrapped my spoiler and it wouldn't stay on anymore.. =( no picture at the time put the wrapped spoiler back on just for a cover up

might just sand the whole trunk if nothing works and get it cf wrap or just get the wald rep

There are special liquids for removing cured silicone.

Not sure what double sided tape you were using, but my trunk spoiler was on for a good 3 years and didn't even budge. Was a hassle to remove even. I used goo gone to remove excess double sided tape but you will need something stronger. Not sure if a Waldo replica will cover the silicone if there's a significant amount on the trunk. Pictures of the trunk and silicone will help.

Good luck.

Heat gun/blow dryer and fishing wire.... blow dryer will be safer if you don't know what you are doing. It will help if you have someone blowing while you are tugging lol ^_^
